Suggestions Blog

If you have a suggestion for an advanced book or another type of book, please post a comment here. I'm not positive that there is a market for the book; you can see more content here with my training materials.

If you find an error in the book, please post a comment here. I can't make any guarantees about when the corrections will be made, but I will do my best.

1. Order no. ....8523 arrived today in good order. Thanks.
2. The first things I looked for were ...in Appendix B - Advanced Topics. Instead of going into a plethora of minor details, let me suggest a Volume 2 - Advanced topics for professional users (I'm a Tech Writer). It should specifically include DTP issues such as doc version/change control etc..
3. From a cursory review of the book, I think that most of the questions (annoyances) arising from migration from MS Word 2k under Win 2k or Linux/CXoffice - are covered.
4. I looked at http://www.getopenoffice.org/workbooks.html
I don't know what's in the Advanced book, nor do I intend to fork out $22 for a 154 page workbook when what I need is more like "Guidebook".
5. Apart from your own blog, is there a list/blog for handling newbie questions of the "how do you ..." variety?

Documentation about how to use a database is sorely lacking. How can I set up events for button presses? How do I do complex reports (with group headers and footers as well as overall report headers and footers? Basically, I would like to see some intermediate level documentation for the database portion of OO.

Hello,
First of all thanks a lot for your guidebook.
I am interested in knowing if a new edition is going to be released?
Maybe after the release of OpenOffice 3 in September where a bunch of new features are going to be included (e.g the import of pdf).
Best regards
Silvio
